Default Sacha's Seeds Part 3

What happened to part 2? (That was the report that they were

growing)

Anybody identified any of them yet, besides the Echiums and Geranium
Palmatum?

Joan via Mike's fingers on the keyboard.


Mike,

Tell Joan, all kinds of goodies, not all identified yet! I have a
beautiful dianthus which flowered yesterday, large flowers in a really
zinging coral. Large plants now in the garden that have a beautiful
sky blue flower, bit like a shoefly but the leaves are larger. A
lathyrus with small, thick leaves climbing but not yet flowered. A
lovely big plant with large soft velvet leaves and tiny tendrils on
the stem. The buds are very pointed and I think the flowers are going
to be blue or purple - will let you know when they have flowered.
Stocks too I think. A wonderful variegated leaved plant - no idea yet
what it is. A large thick velvet leaved prickly something. And so on!
So many plants that I have given a couple of pots of seedlings to
friends to bring on and identify. Truly an Aladdin's cave. Am
fighting the little green caterpillars at the moment. Morning and
evening I'm picking them off!

Let me know what else Joan discovers.
